Such lovely pieces and the chickies are adorable. Its nice to see you had a good week. Hope you have another and can't wait to see that model you are stitching. :D Congrats on your win to 123 stitch. I could go nuts in that online shop too.

You certainly had a busy week. The chicks are really cute - the Hubs wants chicks, but I know I'd end up doing all the work... Congratulations on your win! Have a great time stashing. Can't wait to see your model stitching. Love the cards too.

Those chicks are darling. Who'd a thunk it? Chicks in the mouse house, lol. Grats on your win, and on your progress. Romantique is coming right along. I love the colors in that! And grats on the lovely gift. It just goes to show you what good people stitchers are!!!

Congrats to Heather on her lovely biscornu - lucky you! Can't wait to see what you get with your gift certificate too. And next time you have chicks can you time it so that I am there??? Hugs, Ally xxx
